Totally fair for you to see that but that's not what I meant. I'm more spreading the blame around. I still think a lot of work could be done to address it.Kurth wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 1:53 pmOf course, circuses are not exactly new. When you took me to task the other day for focusing on the unfixable, I think you were right. But if you're proposing that the problem here is that voters are generally uninformed and fixated on the short term, I think you may be doing the same thing.
What I expect is that a lot of ink is going to be spilled by the press explaining this election while ignoring root issues around misinformation. And i worry they will still continue to enable it. That's where I get a bit fatalistic.
Edit: Also important, voters might be idiots but you can communicate with them. Partially where they are or lead them to where they should be. The Democrats have unfortunately shown no ability to do that or cut through the misinformation deluge. Both which are important.
